EasyTouch diabetic supplies for pets: insulin syringes and glucose monitoring

pet insulin syringes and pet glucose meter

Matching EasyTouch Vet syringes to your pet's insulin

Pet insulin comes in two concentrations, and the syringe has to match. U-40 insulin holds 40 units per milliliter, U-100 insulin holds 100, and a syringe printed for one will give the wrong dose with the other. EasyTouch Vet makes both: U-40 insulin syringes in 0.3, 0.5 and 1.0 mL, all 29 gauge, and U-100 pet insulin syringes in 0.3, 0.5 and 1.0 mL with 28, 29 and 30 gauge needles. Read the concentration on your insulin vial, then choose the family; your veterinarian will confirm which one you need.

Within a family, choose the smallest barrel that holds the full dose. A 0.3 mL barrel spreads a few units across the whole scale, so half units are easy to see; a 1.0 mL barrel suits large dogs on large doses. Every EasyTouch Vet syringe is marked in half units, has a half-inch needle with micro-polished, silicone-coated point, large flanges and a smooth plunger. They are sterile, single-use and for animal use only.

Home glucose monitoring lets your vet see how your pet responds between visits. The EasyTouch pet glucose monitoring system uses two code chips, one for dogs and one for cats, because their blood reads differently from human blood, and it needs just 0.7 microliter. The starter kit includes the meter, lancing device, 25 strips, 25 28G twist lancets and medium control solution.

Testing a dog or cat at home

Most owners sample from the edge of the ear, a paw pad or, in some dogs, the inner lip. Warm the ear between your fingers, set the vet lancing device to a shallow depth, and use a 28G lancet for cats and nervous pets or a 26G for dogs that bleed slowly. Reward the pet after every test, and keep the routine at the same time and place.

Never change your pet's insulin dose based on a single reading. Glucose curves, a series of readings over a day, are what your veterinarian uses to adjust treatment, and the vet decides the dose.

EasyTouch Vet: the same quality, made for pets

EasyTouch Vet brings the brand's diabetic supplies to dogs and cats. MHC Medical Products, the manufacturer behind EasyTouch, applies the same in-house quality control to the vet line: insulin syringes with half-unit markings, test strips and a glucose meter calibrated for animals, and twist lancets gentle enough for an ear. Prices stay affordable compared with typical retail and veterinary clinic prices, which matters when diabetes care is twice a day for years.

Buying pet diabetes supplies with confidence

People managing a pet's diabetes want verified information before they order medical supplies. Every product on this website lists the insulin type, barrel size, needle gauge and count from the label, so you can match a U-40 or U-100 syringe to the vial your vet prescribed. Safety comes first: syringes are single use, needles are designed for a secure, fast injection under the skin, and the same site has sharps containers for disposal. For dose management and support, your veterinarian is the right person to ask.
